Sweatshop-Free Sports Equipment
April 7th, 2008 Posted in cool schtuff, dad recomendation, fyi, the good, the bad, and the otherwise
Consider this the latest in ethical and politically-correct products; these sports products are green (either made from sustained resources or recycled) and are manufactured by adult union workers as stipulated by the rules of the Fair Labor Organization (FLO). As an example these soccer balls are eco-certified (certified Fair Trade), union-made and vegan.
The folks at Fair Trade Sports have a number of athletic equipment in their catalog. Their catalog includes rugby, soccer, football, basketball and volleyball equipment as well as apparel and accessories.
